As Hollywood comes back to life post-pandemic, an increasing number of filmmakers are eyeing Minnesota for their next big production.
This comes after the House and Senate passed a $5 million dollar a year tax credit for film and TV production in the state.
“I think a lot of people will come to see what we have here and I think a lot of them will want to stay,” Riki McManus, a leader in the Northland film scene said.
The incentive program works by offering filmmakers a transferable tax credit of up to 25% on in-state purchases for production, so crews could make some of the money they spend in Minnesota back.
